This craft flew about 200 feet above me and made very little sound. It looked like it was as big as a plane, but made very little sound, and had 3 lights flashing, and 4 that were constant. I have a video please ignore the use of the ((profanity)) word

I saw a chevron-shaped object in the sky, about the height I might expect to see a small plane. The object had orange hued lights that covered it. I would guess there were perhaps fifteen or so. It moved slowly, perhaps at the rate a small plane might be going. It was crossing the sky going east or perhaps south east and was a mile or so from the Worcester airport. I was with another person who also saw it. It went behind the trees and when we drove farther to get a clear view again, we could no longer see it.

I was in the lying in the backyard watching the stars come out. About 20 minutes into it, I saw an object in the corner of my eye, and then put my full focus on it. My wife was in the garage and I called out for her to come see it. She only saw it for the last 10 seconds, or so. It made no noise and moved rather quickly. It was gray in color but occasionally would light up and get brighter. I'm not sure if this was reflected sunlight or what. The shape was roughly cuboid or spherical and seemed to have bumps and parts that stuck out. The object appeared to be rotating. I don't really know how far away it was other than the fact that it went behind a large tree that was about 30 feet away. The apparent size was similar to my pinky nail with my arm outstretched. The path of the object was roughly NW to SE parallel to the Willamette River. After it passed behind the large tree, we watched it get smaller and disappear towards the part of the sky where the moon was.

Appears as a light like a satellite, them starts glowing very bright. Them brightness dimmed and appears like a satellite again them it change directions slightly to the south. It was heading North. It disappear over a building. Saw this thing twice in different nights apart. The above mentioned was the second time. On the first time it did the same thing but near an airliner at approx. 30,000' height from west to east. The airliner was traveling alone as it appeared in flightradar24.com (I went to see it there) Came outside again saw the airliner but the object was gone. Couldn't see it anymore. That was around 2:00 am. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

A stationary rectangular/parallelogram and white orb. Did not see objects until drone video footage for real estate purposes was being edited. The main object had distortion around it. The luminous orb changes intensity.

My co-worker and I were taking a break outside of our work, and continuously saw 1-3 spheres at a time steadily flying directly west, well above the clouds. They were all over the sky, but headed in the same direction, one group right behind the other and spread far apart. At the same time this was happening, the sun had a faint halo around it. When they stopped appearing, the halo was gone, and it started getting cloudy. We are almost directly under the flight path of DTW, so you can obviously tell what was an airliner and what was a sphere. The spheres did not leave any kind of trail, and would sometimes zig-zag their flight paths. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hello again. I just spoke to someone at the NWS who stated a couple of things. There was a high Cirrus overcast (I assume thats what was causing the halo around the sun), and lower sparse clouds moving in another direction. I can’t tell you the exact altitude of the orbs/lights I saw, but they seemed to be a bit higher than the lower clouds. Also, I don’t think I made it clear that the objects were not just in one spot in the sky like a flightpath or a line, but rather spread out in the entire sky, and as far as I could see. They were just as visible from a distance, or directly above me. If this was a weather phenomena, then what a sight! Very cool indeed! Here are the specifics from NWS- This Cirrus Overcast at 25-35k ft. Wind direction - from SW-NE (240 degrees) @60kts Lower cloud altitude - 4-6.5k ft. Wind Direction from East to West (coming from 060 degrees) @20 kts

While walking along Halsey Reed Rd, I witnessed one flying object that didn't look like a plane. As I continued with my walk, multiple lights appeared all throughout the sky. They were various sizes, shapes and colors and depending on the vehicle their lights blinked differently. The blinking lights were mostly clear; however, some were red and green, also. Some were slow flying and hovering, while others were fastly approaching at a greater speed. Some were just balls of light, while others were more shaped like aircrafts, similar to UFOs - mostly resembling cylinders, diamond-like kite figures and balls of light. There were hundreds - some in the distant sky resembled twinkling lights, but they weren't. After an hour period passed, multiple low flying airplanes began to show up, as well. Even as I write this I can hear different flying objects in the sky. Possible hoax. We suspect a nighttime sighting, and have amended the time above. Anonymous report. PD

A little after 5am, I witnessed a silent black triangle fly across the sky over my house. The sky was very clear and I noticed a bright light in the western sky that at first I thought was a star but it seemed too big and bright and yellowish instead of white. It did not seem to be moving at first but then I noticed it was moving and coming in my direction (eastward). It had 2 rows of semi-large bright lights in the center, 8 of them I believe (these were the ones that made me think it was a bright star at first). It had smaller red lights on the corners and a row of similar size white lights along the back edge. The smaller lights were blinking randomly. The object appeared to be about the size of a commercial airplane and moving at a similar speed, but had no wings and there was no sound at all.

It was one bright green light that appeared in the sky out of nowhere, and zigzagged across and up/down a small portion of the sky and disappeared a second or two later. It appeared circular in shape because the very bright light was gone as quickly as it came. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

I saw a light that looked like a star at first, because it was so high up in the night sky, until it started moving. After a few seconds it seemed to flash right at me like someone was shining a flashlight in my direction from way up in the sky and then it was gone. I was shocked and had to ask myself if my mind was playing tricks on me. (( For some reason, itness indicates that the date above is approximate. PD)

Have seen 4 UFOs in my lifetime. One was iffy. Could have been shadow play. This one confusing, too. Illusion? Wish my boyfriend would have let me stop the car to look. Will explain. Appeared to be a rectangle. Large like a popular grocery store. Four white lights, each corner. Two flashing red lights-like you see on airplanes-side by side on the "back end." "Back-end" as in relation to the direction of motion. Floating. No regard for gravity. Angles staying in the same formation as the craft moves alongside the roadway. As in towards and then away from my perspective. If this was not an unidentified aircraft, then it could have been multiple aircraft flying in formation, far away, giving the appearance of forming a solid shape. But the red lights confuse that possibility. Also, live near an Airforce base. Could have been a giant helicopter. But still frustrating to work out. Windows rolled up. No radio, but no sound!!, still. Even if! far away, would have heard the jets. If close, would have heard propellers.....wish I could have pulled over. Silly train to catch.......

Two other friends and I were walking around a cemetery in Magna, Utah. It was just before the sun was setting, so still day time. I looked up directly above me for some reason and noticed a circular object hovering in the sky. My friends noticed it and we thought it was a balloon, but then noticed how big it was but also bright. It didn't move; clouds moved away from it and we saw it clearly and it was definitely a stationary object of some sort. It didn't move at all for the 30 minutes we observed it. It almost looked like it was changing shapes slightly. It reflected the colors of the sunset as the sun was setting in that half hour. When the sun faded, it seemed to get smaller and smaller, and then by the time it got dark it almost seemed like just another star in the sky. When we first saw it when it was still light out, we called a couple of friends who were driving and asked if they could see it. They could as well and didn't know what it was, but commented that it seemed large, stationary, and bright. We all felt as if this was out of the ordinary. We are all educated, logically people who tried to explain this away, but couldn't. There was a brief moment when we got somewhat frightened, not sure what it was. But at the same time, we felt like it was a lucky thing to see.

The object was silver, very bright and was hovering about 20-30 feet in the air in a clear blue sky. Only one witness.

Lees Summit, MO
Saw two lights appearing, which looked like a plane flying towards me. I kept watching because if it was a plane, it's too big to be in this rural area. Then the lights spread apart horizontally and stayed there for several seconds, hovering. They both swayed back and forth for a another few seconds. During this time there was a "waving" sound. Suddenly one light was one. Then the other.

I was seeing multiple formations of swarming darting objects that were sometimes hovering and then would disperse like a swarm of bees. I took a walk closer to this activity when I ran into 2 other people that were also watching the lights. The 3 of us then witnessed a tight group of 7 to 8 objects at pretty close range. These were the yellow-white foo fighter type lights as seen in clusters frequently around this area. After this night within 24 hours we have this record shattering heat wave in San Francisco on 9-01 and 9-02 etc.

While leaving work and walking to my Jeep that was parked on the top level of a parking garage. I observed two amber orbs (the color of fire) defending from rain clouds and disappear behind a mountain range. The mountain range is directly south of Area 51. I was looking straight north when I observed this event. There were thunderstorms in the area at the time and it appeared that this object descended as one object and split into at least two objects. I work as a Surveillance Supervisor at a Casino and was able to review video from a camera on another parking structure, and it confirmed what I saw, and the times.

I was in my backyard and noticed a very bright light in the west sky. The white light had red lights on it that appeared to be blinking. I honestly thought it was a plane at first, however it seemed to hover in one spot and then move back and forth. At one point it seemed to move toward my direction and it looked like a triangle. I had my daughter come look and she thought it was a plane but it continued to hover and move back and forth which was exactly what I saw. There wasn't any noise, it was a clear night many stars but nothing like this. I'm going to email the video and pictures.

Large craft seen hovering between my house in the foothills of Henderson, and Nellis AFB. It was the size of a football field, 5 lights, silent. It disappeared by "flyinG" upwards. It left a blank space in the sky. It was around 10:pm. There is video on youtube.

As we drove on the highway heading west on highway 86 as I looked in review mirror I noticed a very large flying object almost moving in the same direction, It had lights like little windows, and was looking in my rear view mirror, I asked my passenger to look back, and he saw the same. It seemed to follow us for a bit, then as on coming traffic lights showed up it seemed to go black and was gone. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

8/30/2017 I was driving to Mesa, AZ, from Globe, AZ, via the US 60. I had already cleared the city, and was well on my way through the back country of the US 60 when the siting occurred. It was roughly 20:15 and the sun was still setting to the west. However, to the east, the sky was already dark. As I came around a bend on the highway, I glanced towards a dark empty part of the sky. The bearing of my sight was roughly 120 degrees SSE. I noticed a light in the sky that appeared to have a reddish orange glow. Upon further inspection, I noticed this light was more of an orb positioned just over the horizon, but close enough to tell that it was not a star in the sky. The orb was so odd looking that I could not focus on anything but the light, only taking my eyes off it to glance back at the road. Having a background in aviation communications I was quick to make the judgement that this was not an anti-collision light of any sort and not an aircraft light that I had seen in the past. The glow was almost incandescent as opposed to having an LED appearance. The orb did not waver at all. It held its position, and that’s what I found so odd about it. About 15-20 seconds in, the orb shot out an additional orb to the east of it. The second orb maintained the same position once it shot out from the first orb. Both orbs now were the same exact size and luminosity. If I were to guess they were about 100 feet away from each other in the sky. It was also apparent that the second orb traveled from the first orb to its position because a slight tracer of light was visible; the second orb did not just appear. It traveled from the first orb to its position. At this point, there were two identical orbs in the sky and just as I thought that was crazy enough, a third orb shot out from the second orb. Now 3 identical orbs maintained their positions in the sky. They did not move or flicker. Roughly 10-15 seconds after that, they all disappeared rather quick, almost as if they quickly! faded, but it was hard to tell. I will attempt to display what I saw. * 5-10 seconds * <- * 10-20 seconds * <-* * 20-30 seconds (GONE AFTER ROUGHLY 1 MINUTE) We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite sober-minded and sincere. We suspect he is a highly credible witness. PD
